Voters in Knoxville City Council districts one, two, three, four and six headed to the polls Tuesday for the primary election.

Five of nine City Council sets are up for election. The council members representing those five districts are all term-limited, and therefore cannot run for re-election.

An unprecedented 30 candidates put their names on the ballot. The top two candidates in each district move on to the general election Nov. 7, however; there is a tie in district four. The City Council will decide what comes next for the results in that district.
